Best anti glare screen guard

[Alec327349592bqu]

I was just moved to a different desk in my office and I'm getting all this annoying glare from the overhead lights reflecting on my screen. What's the best anti-glare screen cover?

Thanks!

Do you have any options for adjusting the light source like a dimmer switch?  

If you happened to have a c-stand around, you would hang some diffusion to reduce the light or cardboard to block it.

Or, while aluminum foil might look strange, it works well.

No options for dimming the overheads and no space to set up a c stand. How would foil work?

Another suggestion was to get a matte screen on the monitor. Does anyone have experience with something like that and can share their thoughts?

That's unlikely to work the way you are hoping it will.  A matte screen (or anti-glare screen) helps with reflections, not direct lighting.

It isn't direct lighting per se. It's the reflection of all the over heads behind me on my screen.
